How many threads have we had about this already?

Two? But they didn't have pictures in them.

Neither of them.

One had music though.

*blinks*

Or is this one of your tricky maths things? Six! No, wait. One!

Jesus, eide. If you don't want to read the thread or don't want to look at the pics, don't.

The dude went through something rough today. Give him his fucking moment.

Or, alternatively, think forward to your next shitty day. And when someone goes one step too far in supporting you, and someone else says "ENOUGH WITH THE SUPPORT ALREADY!", think about how you'd feel.

/me struggled not to put "feel" in quotes, also debated on whether to add this coda. But, meh.

lol, GeckoDundee!

Also... be careful, Eid. Now that Hugh's not working, he can spend all his time tracking you down and forcing you to view Flickr photosets. Yes, he can.

Now, tell your friend how much you love him.

I know that I want to be Specklet when I grow up but if I were a boy, I would want to be Joe Famous. He is the coolest dude on earth. Is anyone cooler than Joe Famous?

I like the way the photo set ends on a really scary note ...

Now two Mechazens have quit the same MegaCorp in the last...um...*looks at calendar*...34 days!

Congrats, Hugh Janus! And you're a better man than I for returning to help sort out your absense--I left my group high and dry.

Ha! That Tennessee Sam is a good sport. Best of luck to you, Hugh.

Dammit. I tried to make it, I really did. But I would have had to run in, take 2 sips of beer and leave. Enjoy your freedom, Hugh.

Is that pips2goml shoutout a plane flying into a building?

That's some suspicious shit. Hope she isn't carrying any liquids or gels.

posted by Hugh Janus 18 August | 08:04

Hooray for Hoo!
Congrats, man. It's a good feeling, eh?

I feel like a million dollars.

A million dollars with a slight hangover.

posted by Hugh Janus 18 August | 08:43

'sallright, I was just let down by the dearth of gaspode pics.

posted by Eideteker 18 August | 09:07

*stomps off to swill gin*

Swill Creem;
A little dab'll do ya!

posted by Hugh Janus 18 August | 09:31

And I thought it looked suspicious too, those things are on the left do look suspiciously flame-like.... but I hope that is just supposed to be me on a plane flying in over NYC to visit!

Hey, I got an A in fingerpainting when I was five...

(it's been downhill since then, alas)

Happy last day, HJ! : )

It's great; my boss is taking some of us out to lunch (o, my poor neglected leftovers) to say goodbye, then I have my exit interview, then I'm outtie hyaaaa!

I was inspired by Specklet's tiny critters on fingers... ; )
